I graduated from École Technique et Professional (University St. Boniface) in 2002; I joined Talbot & Associates shortly after that.
In 2012, I obtained a bachelor of commerce degree from Laurentian University, and a Certified General Accountant (now Chartered Professional Accountant) designation later that year.

After obtaining my CGA designation, I became one of T&A’s partners, then also, St. Boniface Office Manager.

I provide accounting and tax services, as well as consulting services to personal and corporate clients. I also manage our Trusts and Estates tax department.

I have been a licensed funeral director for over 30 years, working in the funeral industry for 33 years literally across the Province of Ontario. I began my career in Rainy River, almost 20 years in Thunder Bay, 4 years in Toronto and now the past 7 years in Ottawa, with Cole Funeral Services.  

I have served on the Board of Funeral Services Education Advisory Committee with the creation of our new legislation. I was also honoured to serve on the Executive with the Ontario Funeral Service Association for two years. 

I feel that having the ability to assist families with all aspects of the funeral arrangements, whether it be in advance of the death, at the time of the death or with the aftercare program is a huge asset to the families we serve.
